A wandless practice of physically embodying spells, one casts through physical expression. Stamina, dexterity, agility and emotion are all important factors in the success of a spell.

Conjuring the Elements

• Fire is the most popular and easiest to produce, but sustaining it is hard and doing anything with it is difficult.
• Earth and water are easiest to control.
• There is a very specialized subdivision from East Asia that is focused on controlling air and using fans.

Brazil in particular is known for their fusion of defensive magic and capoeira.

Competitions

Still, they continue to be popular. If this is what you're looking for, underground clubs are often a good place to start.
